ACCESS HIGHLIGHT AT LP3: Successful laser printing of innovative materials with properties that change with voltage

Many telecommunications devices use materials with tuneable optical properties, to enable optical switching or multiplexing, but the current process for manufacturing such devices is both long and expensive. To provide a cheaper, faster process, researchers have been exploring an innovative printing technique that exploits the capability of pulsed lasers to transfer pixels of matter with a high level of precision and controllability.

ERC GRANTS

The European Research Council (ERC) promotes frontier research by awarding prestigious grants to outstanding researchers for projects of ground-breaking nature. Laserlab-Europe researchers have again been successful in the ERC’s highly competitive selection process. Congratulations to Maximilian Beyer (LLAMS) and Carl Davies (FELIX) receiving a Starting Grant (up to 1.5 million euro)!
